Underneath the weight of her memories, Astra Quin spent fifteen years trying to outrun the ghost of her past. Once caught in the crossfire of the mafia's ruthless empire, she learned that freedom is a privilege that no currency can buy. Her scars carved her to be a weapon; cold, unyeilding and heartless. She has no choice, as this was her creed for survival.
Yet fate is ironically funny. When a stranger whose gentle soul cuts through her darkness, Astra's trajectory shifted and her walls begin to crumble. Against her will, warmth gradually creeps towards her fate's cold embrace. However, in the world she grew at, a hint of tenderness can be a death sentence and affection became a dangerous gamble to her demise.
Not all souls are bound to love...
... she sees it as a curse that destroys everything it touches.
Blake Vitale was a mess. Alam niyang para siyang bomba na malapit nang sumabog. He can even hear the ticking of the clock in his head, the time bomb in his soul. Pero pilit siyang kumakapit, pilit siyang lumalaban para sa hustisya at para sa kakambal niya.
Sa paglipas ng mga taon, normal na sa kaniya na wala siyang emosyon at wala siyang maramdaman. Day after day, he got broken and broken until there's nothing left of him.
He plead for forgiveness. He plead for absolution and for remission of every sins he committed.
But would his broken soul's plea be heard? Or would he lost his soul altogether?
